Let’s start with the Reason links.

The Trump administration acts hostile to due process. The right, in general, has become more hostile to the idea.

Plus, it doesn’t help when the administration extorts law firms it doesn’t like. I heard from a podcaster that the silence from the legal community has been deafening. Which is both surprising – since they are supposed to be zealous defenders of peoples’ rights – and unsurprising – given how quickly they buckled the last time a mob came for them in 2020.

Are the Trump tariffs even legal? Probably not. Of course, Congress is such a feckless mob of wannabes that they don’t have the gumption to remind the executive branch of who is supposed to be the preeminent branch.

Colorado passed new gun regulations.

Nuke providers are suing the regulators.

Political violence on the rise as each side embraces the use of force.

Boy is suspended for something on his private social medias. What did he do? He posted a pic of a bunch of soda cans in the shape of a rifle.

On to other stories.

From Politico, the Florida Democratic Senate Leader has left the party – after saying the state party is dead. I fear Florida is marching on to becoming a one-party state, and that isn’t good. One of the reasons Florida succeeded in the nineties and oughts was that it had healthy (sometimes too-healthy) state parties.

From Bearing Arms, a new study looks at armed citizens’ responses to active shooters.

From Voice of San Diego, there’s a wave of bot students enrolling in college to fraudulently get financial aid dollars.

From 404, an AI bot that calls your elderly relatives to chat. Despite the spin on the article, I can see where this could be helpful for certain segments of the elderly population.

From The Verge, Netflix is rolling out dialogue-only subtitles. Maybe if they did a better job of keeping sound levels somewhat consistent, I wouldn’t need to keep using subtitles just to understand what they’re saying.
